Preformatted Text

The <pre> allows you to display text exactly as you type it in, such as in columns, tabbed across the page or an indented block of text. Here is an example:

<pre> 

                 
             This is a column,           This is another column.
             This is the second Row      This is also the second row.

</pre>

I did not use any line breaks or paragraph tags in this document. <pre> has no additional attributes.
